Pharmacology is 'the study of the relationship between drugs and living organisms' and is closely related to biology, biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacotherapeutics. Pharmacology lectures have two major roles: to educate students to acquire the basic knowledge necessary for correct pharmacotherapy in clinical practice after graduation from dental school, and to establish the basis for pharmacotherapy for diseases for which no treatment exists yet. The course is a foundation for learning the correct knowledge of medicines and students also acquire systematic knowledge of the pharmacological actions, mechanisms of action, metabolism, side effects and clinical applications of drugs characteristic of dentistry, in particular drugs used in endodontic treatment, periodontal diseases, oral mucosal diseases and salivary gland diseases.

Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The learning of pharmacology, the science that deals with the action and use of drugs, is an important step to become a dentist. Modern therapeutics requires understanding of the underlying mechanism of pharmacological action.
Pharmacology is uniquely positioned among the biomedical sciences. Namely, studying pharmacology depends on understanding genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, organ physiology, anatomy, and clinical dentistry. Thereby, pharmacology starts at a critical juncture in the dental curriculum, after completion of most of the basic science courses but before clinical training have begun.
